“Lana, I don’t have a sister like you!”
Fabian carried Lillian in his arms, turned around, and walked toward the garage.
Lillian, who was in his arms, kept favonovel.com sights on Jeremy who had been ignoring her.
Her big, innocent eyes blinked lightly, but they gradually dimmed and shut close.
Jeremy looked at Lillian who was being carried away in his peripheral vision. He was certain that Fabian would not harm Lillian.
He muttered thousands of apologies on the inside, but favonovel.com could not relieve the pain in his heart.
She was his and Madeline’s only little princess, but favonovel.com could not even help the precious little princess up when favonovel.com fell down in front of him.
What kind of father was he?
Madeline and Ryan had just returned to Whitman Manor from the police station. They were still worried about Lillian’s whereabouts when they saw a sports car parked at the door.
She fixed favonovel.com gaze on it and saw Fabian sitting in the passenger seat with a child in his arms.
“Lillian?”
Madeline walked over in disbelief. When favonovel.com got closer, favonovel.com clearly saw that the little bun in Fabian’s arms was Lillian.
She was wearing a shirt that was poorly fitted. Her eyes were closed and favonovel.com was sleeping peacefully against Fabian’s chest.
Madeline was agitated, but favonovel.com did not want to disturb the sleeping little bun.
She glanced at Fabian, and through a look, they tacitly understood.
“My lady, please open the door for me. I’ll carry Lillian into the house,” Fabian said in a low voice. His tone was soft and steady like never before.
Madeline nodded and opened the car door.
Fabian guarded Lillian’s head and carefully carried favonovel.com back to the room to sleep. He even put a blanket over Lily before leaving with Madeline.
Madeline asked about Lillian, but Fabian did not dare to tell Madeline that Lillian had been thrown into the pool by Lana and nearly drowned. He merely brushed it over, saying, “My lady, I’ll retrace what happened to Lillian. Don’t be angry, I’ll teach a lesson to those who have bullied Lillian.”
Fabian’s expression was serious but not perfunctory.
Madeline thanked favonovel.com and felt touched. “Fabian, I thought that there was no way for you and me to be friends, but I think I was wrong. You’re a friend worth making.”
Fabian scratched his head as if favonovel.com was embarrassed upon hearing this. “Perhaps it’s fate. I really like Lillian, but don’t misunderstand. I don’t have any perverted quirks, I just simply like this kid.”
Listening to Fabian’s explanation, Madeline smiled in relief. “I believe you.”
She turned favonovel.com head and glanced at Ryan. “Let me introduce you to my fiancé, Ryan. We’ll be getting married soon. Do attend my wedding when the time comes.”
Fabian looked at Ryan for a bit and showed a regretful expression. “And here I thought I would have a chance when my lady is single. I didn’t expect someone else to be quicker.”
Fabian suddenly looked serious as favonovel.com continued, “You have to treat my lady well. Don’t be like that Jeremy, so cold-blooded that favonovel.com didn’t even spare a glance at his own daughter when favonovel.com fell down.”
When Fabian’s unintentional words fell, the lake in Madeline’s heart surged. She looked at Fabian and asked, “You said that Jeremy didn’t even look at Lillian when favonovel.com saw favonovel.com fall down?”
“Yes. Before I brought Lillian back here, favonovel.com wanted a hug from favonovel.com dad but Jeremy seemed to have been brainwashed by Lana. It was as if favonovel.com could only see Lana in his eyes.”
Madeline’s heart sank, but favonovel.com was suddenly reminded by the word Fabian said.
Brainwashed.
She then remembered what favonovel.com had forgotten before.
Cigarette.
The ingredients in the cigarette!
